LUNA, set to be operational by 2026 at ESA's European Astronaut Centre, aims to train astronauts, engineers, and scientists for Moon missions. Complementing LUNA is FLEXhab, a mobile habitat that simulates the lunar living environment. FLEXhab, constructed from modified shipping containers, offers a realistic setting for up to four astronauts, including sleeping quarters, a kitchen, and a lab. This facility not only mimics lunar conditions but also equips astronauts with necessary skills for survival, teamwork, and conducting experiments on the Moon's surface, enhancing their readiness for future missions.
FLEXhab is designed as a modular living unit, simulating the Moon surface experience for astronauts, enhancing their capacity for effective teamwork during missions.
In 2026, LUNA will be fully operational to train astronauts in realistic lunar conditions, essential for their preparedness in upcoming lunar missions.
